A Connected School shows you how to create a school climate that fosters achievement, caring, and safety for students, school staff, and the community. The book will introduce readers to Perceptual Control Theory in order to help educators interact with students in ways that facilitate students' internal motivation. We increase achievement by connecting to others, creating a safe and caring environment, and by teaching in ways that foster students' innate desire to learn. The role of the "Connected School" educator is to help students understand how they can become "disciplined within" and create opportunities to do this in a non-coercive setting.

New from New View Publications: To prevent bullying, educators need to shift their thinking, shift their actions, and start modeling noncoercive intervention. Getting everyone connected, establishing firm bottom lines, forming agreements, and holding everyone accountable to the agreements are the critical elements to creating schools that are achieving, caring, and safe. Setting the Tone asks educators to self-evaluate their present beliefs and practices in light of the latest research on behavior and bullying prevention. "When it comes to bullying, Setting the Tone opens our eyes to the power of establishing realistic expectations of students, staff, and communities and moves us beyond blame and shame, excuses, and rote apologies. Establishing a connected school that won't stand for bullying empowers our future leaders by teaching them how to implement core beliefs when it comes to respect, relationships, and restitution. Setting the Tone is a must have tool for all building leaders."-- Tommy Schmolze, EdD, Assistant Superintendent and Executive Director of Pupil Services, Fort Mill School District, South Carolina

The core of the book are six papers by Dr. Richard S. Marken which have been published in peer reviewed journals over the past decade explaining why Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) offers the most promising approach to understanding behavior to date, and lays the foundation for a true science of psychology. A friend and advocate of the late William T. Powers, originator of PCT, Marken's assessment of where this new science will take us in the next fifty years is compelling as it is exciting.
